How to Set Timeout for JAX-WS WebService Call

Question

I'm working on a WebService Client and I want to set a Timeout for my WebService Call. I have tried different approaches but still I'm not able to achieve this. I'm using JAX-WS for code generation from WSDL. I'm using JBoss-eap-5.1 as App Server and JDK1.6.0_27. I found these diff approaches for setting timeout but none of them is working for me.

URL mbr_service_url = new URL(null,GlobalVars.MemberService_WSDL, new URLStreamHandler() {

            @Override
            protected URLConnection openConnection(URL url) throws IOException {
                URL clone_url = new URL(url.toString());
                HttpURLConnection clone_urlconnection = (HttpURLConnection) clone_url.openConnection();
                // TimeOut settings
                clone_urlconnection.setConnectTimeout(10000);
                clone_urlconnection.setReadTimeout(10000);
                return (clone_urlconnection);
            }
        });
        MemberService service = new MemberService(mbr_service_url);
        MemberPortType soap = service.getMemberPort();
        ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
        MemberEligibilityWithEnrollmentSourceRequest request = factory.createMemberEligibilityWithEnrollmentSourceRequest();

        request.setMemberId(GlobalVars.MemberId);
        request.setEligibilityDate(value);

        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.ws.developer.JAXWSProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.ws.developer.JAXWSProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.internal.ws.developer.JAXWSProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        ((BindingProvider) soap).getRequestContext().put(com.sun.xml.internal.ws.developer.JAXWSProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 10000);
        System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout", "10000");
        System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout", "10000");

        MemberEligibilityWithEnrollmentSourceResponse response = soap.getMemberEligibilityWithEnrollmentSource(request);
        logger.log("Call to member service finished.");

For now what I have done is, I have called my webservice method from inside an executor. I know its not a good approach, but its working for me. Guys please help me to do it in a proper way.

logger.log("Parameters set for createorUpdateContact call.\nGoing in Executor Service.");
        ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
        executorService.execute(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    response = soap.getMemberEligibilityWithEnrollmentSource(request);
                } catch (MemberServiceException ex) {
                    logger.log("Exception in call to WebService", ex.fillInStackTrace());
                }
            }
        });
        executorService.shutdown();
        try {
            executorService.awaitTermination(GlobalVars.WSCallTimeOut, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            logger.log("Thread Interrupted!", ex);
            executorService.shutdownNow();
        }

You could try these settings (they are paired to be used in pairs)

BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT
BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT

BindingProviderProperties should be from com.sun.xml.internal.WS.client

Or the strings for JBoss:

javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout
javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout

All properties to be put on getRequestContext() in milliseconds.

(BindingProvider)wsPort).getRequestContext().put(BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, yourTimeoutInMillisec);

For JBoss specifically, you might want to use the property StubExt.PROPERTY_CLIENT_TIMEOUT from org.jboss.ws.core.StubExt. See this thread for details.
